Could Never Tell You What Happened the Day I Turned Seventeen by NoOneKnowsIWriteThis

Summary
It was Wyll who asked the question that had been hanging over the entire party.
“How old are you, Gale?”
--
The orb not only drained Gale's magic, but also his life, making him look far older than his 23 years. With the orb removed and his youth restored, Gale tries to rediscover himself, and also cope with his crush on his vampiric former travelling companion. -

Summary
“I… I have a proposal,” Gale says into the hair’s breadth of space between them, slowly, as he struggles to catch his breath. He shifts his grip so that he’s holding Astarion’s hand instead. “If you’re amenable.”
That piques Astarion’s interest, it seems. His eyes narrow, and the grin comes back. “Well, well. What sort of terrible, naughty fantasies are bouncing around in that marvelous head of yours, hm? Go on. I’m all pointy ears, my love.”
“Let me take care of you?”
Astarion laughs. “Darling, that’s rather the point, isn’t it? You take care of me, I take care of you? Tit for tat?”
“Just,” Gale clarifies, “let me take care of you.”
(Or: Gale and Astarion, on Astarion's first night of freedom.)

Summary
“Last question, Astarion. Would you ever hurt a living thing?”
Astarion stares blankly ahead, “No. Of course not. Not unless they had it coming.”
“Astarion,” the man laughs, and slides his fingers on the glass and light. “In your present build: Would you harm a living thing?”
“No.”
“Good boy,” he smiles.
Some part of Astarion appreciates the words, even as his emotional subroutines are suppressed. He is a good boy, sometimes.

Summary
Before the orb, before the fall, Gale was Mystra's perfect Chosen, until Lyanna Harken pulled him from the depths and breathed life back into his lungs. Unbidden. Unwanted. Unforgettable.
In the floating city of Sharn, his divine mission to recover a Netherese tome collides with her desperate search for the Whispering Blades. She offers chaos where he craves control. He promises order where she needs freedom. Neither expected to matter.
Pride goeth before a fall, but no one warns you how intoxicating the view from the edge can be.
Side B:
Lyanna Harken’s just a wanderer trying to find her late mentor’s legacy. She didn't sign up for drowning wizards, divine politics, or the way Mystra's Chosen looks at her like she's both salvation and damnation. Should've known better than to strike a deal with someone who thinks breathing is a debt to be repaid.Series

Summary
Astarion wasn’t sulking, nor was he hiding from Gale. He was simply taking a relaxing moment to himself. A relaxing moment in the dark, pressed between boxes in what was presumably a storage room.
Sometimes it's easier to ignore an issue when you've got more imminent problems to deal with. Now that he's finally safe, Astarion finds it might be harder to ignore said issues.
This is a direct continuation of 'Bat'tered by the Storm. Updates on Fridays.Series

Summary
Lena was heading home from her day job as a software engineer when an llithid nautiloid kidnapped her. Luckily, she's a honey badger shifter, and honey badgers are best known for taking on big cats, hyenas, scorpions, and venomous snakes, and surprisingly, surviving! Unluckily, her new companions might want to murder her because she's decided that she's going to go completely unfiltered. Luckily, her liger best friend, Edie, will help her stay alive. Sorta.
This reads mostly as a Baldur's Gate 3 playthrough with in-game dialog as a jumping-off point for lots of non-canon dialog that I think is funny. Your mileage will vary.
Oh, and awkward attempts at emotional depth and smut. It's not deliberate: I just forget how normal people react. And if you're looking for good smut, look elsewhere. But I'm going to just keep on chugging despite the lack of external validation. Though I do love me some external validation (nudge, nudge).
I also post what amounts to a first draft to be fixed. Later.
'Happy' reading!
There's an epilogue for anyone who wants to punish themselves further!

Summary
Gale was steadfast at her side—always. Selina might not be the woman she was when they met, but she was still Selina. He still loved her, even though his never fading feelings choked him with guilt almost every day. It felt entirely too wrong to love the shell that she had become, yet he did. He’d love her in any shape or form, at any age, in any circumstance. If her resentment lingered when her grief waned, he’d happily be her punching bag. If she hated him for caring for her, if she wanted to hurt him, he’d let her. There was not much more to it.
If Selina ever felt the desire to kill him, he’d first find immortality, only to give her the satisfaction of being able to do it over and over again.
It seemed, eventually, she caught on.
. ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁ ⟡ ݁ . ⊹ ₊ ݁.
Or, Gale Dekarios has loved Selina (Tav) since the moment she pulled him from the portal—but her heart has always belonged to another. When Astarion dies a year after the fall of the Netherbrain, Gale invites himself into the quiet ruin of her grief. He tells himself he’s only there to help her heal, to guide her through the loss of love. Of course, that's easier said than done.

Summary
“Tara. What in the Nine Hells happened to my beard?”
Gale had gone on a great adventure with a band of tadpoles misfits to save the world from the Absolute. That much, he was certain of. So why and how did he find himself back in Waterdeep, a year before that whole venture, and just days away from committing the mistake of a lifetime? Did the friends from his vision indeed exist? Or better yet, did they remember? What could it all mean?
A bit of time traveling shenanigans and the threat of Absolutists to defeat anew... But just how much does everyone recall from that glimpse into the future exactly? Find friends and foes alike back in an adventure with much more to offer than you’d first wager![Act 1 of this fic fully written]

Summary
The Shadowcurse creeps into undead flesh like frost. Gale applies the most logical solution to save Astarion: full-body contact. For science. Obviously.
Gale can cuddle Astarion warm through their first night in the Shadow-Cursed Lands—but if he thinks he gets to save someone else while planning to sacrifice himself, Astarion has a few objections to make.
Canon compliance: Takes place in Act 2 just after arriving in the Shadow-cursed Lands and is mostly compliant except for the way the shadowcurse works (see notes)

Summary
Then a third, and up till now completely unthinkable, thing occurred. The portal behind Gale yawned open once more. Underneath the dissonant crackling of the portal’s magic, Gale could hear the distinct sound of a voice yelling and cursing in a foreign language. And before the wizard could register what in all nine hells was happening, a young woman was spat out of the portal like a wad of Chessentan chewing tobacco. She crashed into Gale’s chest, exactly like he had crashed into her the day before. Unlike Gale though, Brix did not immediately brush herself off and greet him with a practiced smile.
Instead, she resumed her cursing. At least, that’s what Gale assumed it was. He couldn’t glean any singular word from her outburst, except one terribly rude four-letter word, which was now sprinkled liberally into every other sentence.
“You!” she finally shouted and pointed an accusatory finger at Gale. “What the fuck did you do?!”

Summary
When Rolim wakes up after the crash of the Nautiloid, he can hardly believe the reality he finds himself in.
The compulsions once forced upon him by Cazador are gone—and somehow, the sun no longer burns his skin.
But freedom comes with a price: an illithid tadpole now burrows through his grey matter and with it, a creeping loss of his vampiric strength and instincts.
He soon finds himself among a ragtag group of survivors, all infected, all searching for a cure. One of them stands out more than the rest: Astarion.
Handsome, sharp, and—unlike most—genuinely respectful of Rolim's boundaries. While Shadowheart hides her own secrets and Lae'zel simply doesn't care to ask, Astarion sees Rolim's need for space... and honors it.
As their journey twists deeper into uncertainty, a question begins to take shape:
What will become of them all when the fate they seek to change refuses to be rewritten?AU where Astarion is a 239 year old mortal elf and magistrate and Tav is the one under Cazador's thumb!
Have fun!Series
